Watch The Making Of French Montana’s “Unforgettable” Beat With 1Mind

Go behind the beat of French Montana's "Unforgettable" beat.

French Montana & Swae Lee currently have themselves one of the biggest songs of the Summer with “Unforgettable.” The song, which peaked at #9 on the Billboard charts & continues to slay the clubs & airwaves, is produced by Indianapolis production trio 1Mind (Sebastian Lopez, Mac Sutphin, and Michael Lohmeier) along with Toronto-based producer Jaegen and Cali-based CP DUBB.

Genius recently caught up with the Indy production trio in the studio & went behind the boards to examine how exactly the song came about and became a platinum smash for French’s Jungle Rules album.

Mac Sutphin says he created the beat after getting a DM from OVO Oliver about submitting tracks for Drake’s VIEWS album. When that didn’t pan out, CP DUBB sent the record to Swae Lee and finally ended up in French’s hands.

See how the beat was made & more in the latest episode of Genius’ “Deconstructed” series (below). While you’re at it, read out review of Jungle Rulesright here.

Solange takes a step back from social media.
As the United States continues to grow more and more divided with each fresh act of terrorism on home soil and each inadequate response the American public get from their leaders, it only stands to reason that social media users will use the online platforms to vent their frustrations, sometimes without warning. This approach isn't just relegated to your Average Joe's either - many celebrities are voicing their displeasure using Twitter and Instagram as well. Solange can count herself among those who are taking a stand against hatred and violence online. As per Pitchfork, after his press conference yesterday where Donald Trump seemingly flip the switch on condemning the White Supremacist protesters that were behind the events that took place last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, the R&B singer took matters into her own hands. After revealing that she was going to be deleting her Twitter account, perhaps to escape from all o…

It's not often that other men intimidate Chris Hemsworth. But, when dozens of actors united to film Marvel Studios' Avengers: Infinity War, the actor admits he did get a bit nervous meeting one of his co-stars. "The first time I really met Chris Pratt—and went on set with him and the Guardians—I was weirdly shaken," he laughs in an interview with ELLE. "I don't know why. He's just so charismatic. And good at what he does." Hemsworth was similarly thrown off kilter when he filmed Thor: Ragnarok opposite Cate Blanchett, who stars as Hela, the goddess of death. "She calls you on your s--t straightaway. Which is intimidating. You walk in and you're doing all the usual polite chats, and she's like, 'Chris, what are you doing? Really, that's the story you're gonna tell?' And you're like, 'S--t, I'm not going to get away with anything with this lady," the actor says. "I have to drop the façade." Marvel Ma…

Is Darci Lynne, the 12-year-old ventriloquist, the one to beat on America's Got Talent? It looks that way. The pre-teen dedicated her performance to Mel B after receiving the Golden Buzzer and wowed the judges during the first AGT live show with jokes and a performance of Jackson 5's "Who's Lovin' You." But she's not the only performer wowing the judges. "America has a tough job," judge Heidi Klum told E! News after the reality show's first live show. "We saw 12 acts today, but only seven will go to the next round and that's going to be really hard. For me there were more than seven great acts tonight." Klum cited Darci, Yoli Mayor, roller skaters Billy and Emily England and daredevil Bello Nockas acts that wowed her during the live show. There were "three or four" acts that Klum said she didn't fully love—she declined to name them—but "the rest I really, truly loved." Judge Howie Mandel said this year is pr…

T.I. has no patience for Donald Trump.
Since the two-thousands came around, T.I. has arguably solidified one of hip-hop's most important figures. With his 2003 album Trap Muzik being one of the first albums to popularize the term "trap" in the mainstream, TIP went on record stating his role in pioneering trap music as we know it. On that very same album's second track "I Can't Quit," T.I. rapped the line "I want to be a musician, pimping, not a politician." It's funny how things turn out, and while T.I. is hardly a politician in the way that say, Hilary Clinton or Ted Cruz was, his music has certainly undergone a shift toward a more political direction.
Consider his most recent project, Us Or Else: Letter To The System in which T.I. skillfully weaved his impressive flow and lyricism with more social and political subject matter. Not to mention, he also released an accompanying short film, which dealt with the narrative of police brutality…

BROCKHAMPTON will be dropping off the sequel to "Saturation" next week.The Kevin Abstract-led collective BROCKHAMPTON have found some major success recently thanks to their debut effort Saturation, but before they even dropped off that album back in June, KEvin tweeted out that they were already working on its sequel. “We will also release our 2nd album this summer,” Kev tweeted out back on June 3rd. While having spent that past few weeks rolling out new music in its support, including Gummy & last week’s “Swamp” releases, Brockhampton decided to come through Tuesday night & share a new offering called “Junky,” which is accompanied by a new video. Just minutes following the release of “Junky” however, the collective then decided to announce the release date for the sequel, which will be dropping next week on August 25th. “Next week bitch” Kevin tweeted out following its official announcement. From what we know, Saturation II will feature the previously heard records “G…

Drake is reportedly opening a new restaurant called "Pick 6" in Toronto.It looks like Drake is expanding his business ventures once again. Just weeks after finding out that he & the OVO crew were opening up a flagship store in NYC, rumors are now surfacing online saying that Drizzy is opening a new restaurant in his hometown of Toronto, Canada. On Tuesday, footage started surfacing of OVO owls popping up on buildings in the financial district in Toronto, near the corner of Yonge and Wellington St. The space which draws the attention used to be a restaurant called the Houston Bar and Grill, but now Hypebeast is reporting Drake will be opening a new restaurant or sports bar in its place called “The Pick 6.” With a name such as “Pick 6,” which draws reference to an interception returned for a touchdown in football is semi- empling that it could be a sports bar, but I guess time will only tell. Unfortunately, no other information has been revealed about the upcoming restauran…

DAPPER DAN DEFINED THE LOOK OF HIP-HOP FOR GENERATIONS The month of August — or AWGEST — belongs to A$AP Mob. All month long, the Harlem-based hip-hop collective is dropping projects like A$AP Twelvyy’s debut album 12, A$AP Ferg’s mixtape Still Striving (arriving on August 18), and A$AP Mob’s Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy, the follow-up to last year's Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends. On top of new music, A$AP Rocky's initial AWGEST announcement promised the launch of "content, videos, and a whole bunch of other kool shit," reminding us all that the Mob are not only dudes with myriad interests, but are emblematic of a generation of Harlem creatives carrying on the neighborhood's tradition of pushing culture and art forward. The neighborhood's influence on culture stretches back to literary innovators like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, and jazz pioneers like Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday, but one of Harlem's living legends is Daniel Day, better known a…
